The trailer has been released for ‘The Blame', the upcoming gripping thriller from ITV and Quay Street Productions.
The series stars Michelle Keegan (‘Fool Me Once') and Douglas Booth (‘The Sandman'), and it will arrive on ITV this autumn, with the date to be confirmed. ‘The Blame' is a gripping new series set to have audiences on the edge of their seats.
Produced by acclaimed Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios), written, developed for television and executive produced by Megan Gallagher (‘All Her Fault', ‘Wolf'), the drama dives into secrets, suspicion, and systemic corruption – all under the surface of the seemingly quiet town, Wakestead.
Also starring Ian Hart as DCI Kenneth Walker, Nathan Mensah as DC Lewis, Nigel Boyle (‘Line of Duty', ‘Peaky Blinders') is digital forensic technician Brett Shergill, Joe Armstrong (‘Gentleman Jack', ‘Black Mirror') plays ice-skating coach Kyle Frasier, and Matilda Freeman (‘How to Get to Heaven from Belfast', ‘Passenger') is Sophie Madsen. Gavin Spokes (‘House of the Dragon', ‘Slow Horses'), Josh Bolt (‘Masters of the Air', ‘Last Tango in Halifax'), Ceallach Spellman (‘Cheaters', ‘White Lines') are part of the Wakestead Police team as DC Joel Stevens, DC Douglas James, and PC Callum Drummond.
‘The Blame' is centred around DI Emma Crane and DI Tom Radley investigating a tragic murder in the fictional town of Wakestead. They quickly identify their main suspect, but as the case progresses, an unexpected lead comes to light. As Emma and Tom dig deeper, they uncover web of lies, institutional cover ups and moral compromise, which forces Emma to question the people closest to her.
Part propulsive mystery, part social commentary, part love story, ‘The Blame' will tackle big questions around policing and will take an unflinching look at who we can really trust.
